John Loebach Posted January 11, 2013 Report Posted January 11, 2013 Chi region Bassbugger tying features Tom Loo tying the Foxy Crawdad. Meeting at John L's garage in Lombard at 6pm, tying to start by 6:30. Bring your tools & tie along. PM me if you need directions. John L. Quote
Tom L Posted January 14, 2013 Report Posted January 14, 2013 I'll bring enough materials for everyone to tye along. The only thing that I won't have enough is the thread. The recipe called for Ultra Thread 140 Fl. Fire Orange. I got it from Cabela's, but you can use any other threads as substitute. The Foxy Crawdad is a level 3 difficulty fly in a 1-5 scale. It is a fun fly to tye and very effective. Hope to see you there..... Quote
